attributes of their ideal graduates based on their visions and missions as part of
their institutional goals or outcomes, and using these as bases for developing

which they expect to see five years after graduation. These desired outcomes
have to be translated to what the students learn in specific courses. The HEI
should ensure that at the level of the courses, the desired course and learning
outcomes are attained with the proper content, methodologies, and student
performance assessment.
Course outcomes refer to the knowledge, values, and skills all learners

blocks toward course outcomes, which in turn, support the program outcomes.
Implementing OBE further translates to the quality and orientation of the faculty
members in charge of the courses. This may be more crucial than a total change
